He's now back on the 40-man roster. Zagunis' season ended prematurely because of a shoulder injury, but he'll be ready to go for spring training. Fri, Nov 2, 2018 05:22:00 PM

Cubs recalled OF Mark Zagunis from Triple-A Iowa; placed him on the 60-day disabled list with right shoulder inflammation.

The move clears a spot for Jaime Garcia on the 40-man roster. Zagunis appeared in five games with the Cubs this season and now can be ruled out for the remainder of 2018. Tue, Sep 4, 2018 06:02:00 PM

Cubs recalled OF Mark Zagunis from Triple-A Iowa.

Zagunis will give the Cubs some outfield depth while Jason Heyward recovers from a concussion. Zagunis, 25, was batting .298/.412/.436 with three home runs and two stolen bases in 29 games this season at Triple-A, but he probably won't be up for very long. Wed, May 9, 2018 11:48:00 AM

Cubs president of baseball operations Theo Epstein said shortstop Addison Russell will get a "conditional second chance" to remain with the organization.

Russell was suspended 40 games for violating Major League Baseball's domestic violence policy and still has 29 games of that suspension left to serve this year. The Cubs consulted with Russell's ex-wife (the victim of the abuse), and Epstein said "She felt like this was Addison's best chance to get his life in order." The former elite prospect's career has been disappointing thus far -- he has a .242/.313/.392 slash line in 533 career games and his results have been trending in the wrong direction. His role moving forward could be that of a part-time player on the Cubs' loaded roster. He will turn 25 years old next week.

It was an arthroscopic debridement procedure -- a cleanup of cartilage in and around the joint. Jesse Rogers of ESPN 1000 in Chicago hears that the surgery and subsequent rehab could affect Morrow's availability for the start of the 2019 regular season. Arm injuries are no new thing for the 34-year-old right-hander, who missed the second half of the 2018 campaign due to a bone bruise in his pitching elbow. Look for the Cubs to add a late-inning reliever or two this winter. For now, Pedro Strop is the best bet to open 2019 as the team's primary closer.
